Hello everyone. Now I know this question is answered in the Documentation but I really struggle with understanding it and my brain is too dopamine-doped from doom scrolling... I was able to setup a Whonix Workstation and Gateway no problem. Everything works very well too. That was rather easy. Now I am stuck at getting another distro vm to work behind the Gateway. I want this because I don't want to risk my bought social media accounts getting banned from OS level fingerprinting. I was thinking about getting to use Fedora in a VM because other options according to the Documentation are either hell to set up (Windows or Android VMs) or they are just hella buggy or risky. Idk but I just want Fedora in a VM behind the Gateway. I am using virtmanager and QEMU/KVM. I tried to attach the Fedora vm to the same Gateway that my Whonix workstation uses but I don't get any internet connection on Fedora. I am really stuck and don't know what to do. Should I clone the Gateway and only use the cloned one for Fedora? When I do that however the names of the Network source are staying the same and are not changing so I am not sure which Gateway is which and I don't know how to properly do it. PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME. I am literally going to blow my brains out, I mean it. These past few days have been torture and I'd appreciate some help because AI can't help me for shit. Thanks a lot guys and stay safe everyone!

yeah lol... Btw I am very thankful for your comment on my post there! Only other answer I got was a guy claiming I wanna trade CP like wtf?? Only reason I made an alt account was because I was asking the same question to AI a lot and didn't want a link to my account but here we go I guess...
Well this is not so helpful because I was asking about Whonix, and not Qubes, and btw the same network issue arises in QubesOS too. I tried to run a MintOS VM in a Qube but also couldn't get any internet connectinon...
I am incapable of reading your post in the way it was written.
1. Set VM network connection to use Whonix-Internal isolated network.
2. Open Wired Connection in Network Manager
3. IPv4 Settings:
Set Method to Manual
Address: 10.152.152.11

Gateway: 10.152.152.10
DNS servers: 10.152.152.10
